right hating been di*po*fd <f the
coontry for a time settled down and
was at pence. Hut there came another
bugbear upon me *cene. Absurd as
w. re the prediction* of dire remit* in
the ca**e of the construction of enn
ui*. they were as nothing compared to
those which came with the advent ol
the iron horse. Horses were to starve
home* goto rack and ruin and the
almshou*es were to be filled to over
flowing, for could not these ungainly,
machine*, which pushed themselves
along on two pieces of iron,haul much
more than the canal boats and would
not. also the men who made a living
by boatiug come to want when their
occupation was gone'.' In Pennsylvania
some legislator* even went so far as to
draft bills which had for their object
the prohibition of such an innovation
as the locomotive. Fortunately for us,
who are now citizens of the State,
wiser councils prevailed and |tlie bills
never became laws. Hut the fact that
legislation was sidetracked was not
sufficient to keep the people from
worrying. They still believed the
coming of the railroad meant tiie ruin
of the State. But it came and none of
the fears were realized. Instead of the
boatmen becoming inmates of alm
iiouses. they secured positions on the
railroad, and instead of the teamster
being out of employment he had more
to do than ever. Then thero came an
other cloud upon the sky—the trolley
cars. Should any man fifty years a«o
announced that such a tiling as run
ning a car by electricity could be, lie
would have had a committee on lunacy
appointed by his friends to sit upon
him and of course adjudge iiitu in
sane. What else could lie be. But the
canal, the steam railroads and the
\ electric lines are wliat have developed
the country. It is to them that we owe
our growth as a nation. And it is
these great things which have put us
in the forefront of the nations of the
world. They have opened up sections
of the country which otherwise would
have remained uninhabited except by
the wild beasts. They are the forces
which were with the country in its
making.
World's Coal Production.
The world's production of coal in
190ti amounted to about 1,106,478,707
short tons, of which the United States
produced 414,157,278 tons.
Since 1808, during a period of 39
years, the percentage of the world's
total coal produced by the United
States has increased from 14.3d to 37,
aud this country now stands far in
the lead of the world's coal producers.
It has been only eight years since the
United States supplanted Great Brit
ain as the leading coal producer, yet
the increase in this conntry has been
so groat that Greai Britain can no
longer be classed as a competitor. In
190 tithe United States produced 43.7
per cent more coal than Great Britain
and 85 per cent, more tiiau Jerniauy.
Exclusive of Great Britain the United
States in 1900 produced more coal than
all other countries iu the world com
bined.
It may also be noted that more than
96 per cent, of the world's production
of coal is mined iu countries lying
north of the equator, the countries
south of the line contributing less than
20,000,000 tous annually.
Detailed statistics of the world's
production, by countries, are incor
porated in an advance chapter from
"Mineral Resources of the United
States, Calendar Year 190ti," on the
production of coal iu 1906, by E. W.
Parler, chief Statistician of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, which
will soon be ready for distribution.
Simplicity's Saving Grace.
"I like simplicity," said the states

"Two men met in front of the Blank
hotel the other day and fell into a po

everyday sort of men, but one of them

syllabic language. lie talked half an
hour, and bis companion listened In a
daze.
"'And now,' the speaker pompously
concluded, 'perhaps you will coincide
with me.'
"The other's face brightened up.
" "Why, yes. Thanks, old man,' he
answered heartily, moving toward the
barroom door, 'I don't care if I do.'"

Lancaster Tobacco Worth $3 Pound.
The economic importance of the
Sumatra leaf iu the American cigar
industry may be judged from the fact
that though the manufacturer pays for
it #3.50 to #5 a pound, the cigar trade
used of it in the census year. 5,000,000
pounds. As Pennsylvania makes one
fourth of the national cigar output
her proportion of the Sumatra import
may be fairly estimated to cost her
cigar makers 55.000.000 annually.
A few years ago Flordia growers
found that by shading plants grown
on sandy soil from Sumatra seed a
very high quality wrapper leaf could
lie obtained. Professor William Frear,
of the Pennsylvania State college agri
cultural experimental station, working
iu co-operatiou with the Lancaster
County Tobacco Growers Society is
conducting a series of experiments oil
the sandy loim soil of northern Lan
caster eouuty. These experimnets sup
ported by small state appropriation
have resulted in three successive crops
of a thin,fine veined,gloss}- leaf yield
ing 1,000 to 1,200 pounds per acre at a
cost not exceeding $1 per pouud for
the swetted aud sorted leaf, and fair
samples of these crops have been valu
ed bv manufacturers at $2,75 to S3 50
per pound. While these results have
heretofore not been extensively adver
tised lest the products of a single
season prove abnormally excellent and
while further experiment is desirable
to improve the uniformity and pro
ductive capacity of leaves, it seems
now to he proven that Pennsylvania
can produce this very high priced pro
duct and save a proportion of the
money that lias been paid out for im
ports.

Governor Goes Upon Record.
Governor Stuart, who has promised
to make one or more speeches in
favor of Mr. Sheatn's election iu com
menting upon the issues in the state
canvass, said:
"This campaign turns solely upon
the election of a state treasurer, and
. next to the election of an honest man
It Is important to elect a Republican.
. I do not propose to indulge In per
sonalities. Mr. Hnrman la an upright,
honest man.l have known Mr. Sh"ate
for 20 years, and thorp is no reason
why every Republican cannot vote for
John O Sheatz for state treasurer. 1
was in almost daily contact with Mr.
Sheatr during the legislative session.
He was chairman of that most import
ant committee, appropriations, and I
know no man who ever held public
office or trust who took care of the
purse strings more honestly than did
he.
"Every act that he performed was
for the good of the commonwealth. 1
say this from a personal knowledge
of the man. Sheatz stands for honesty
In politics and decency In the man
agement of public affairs. Any man
who stands for anything else is not a
Republican and not deserving of the
name."
A Tip to the Independents.
Former Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith, and one time minister
to Russia, is nlready upon the stump
advocating the election of the Repub
iican nominee for state treasurer.
Mr. Smith is looked upon as express
ing the views of those with whom h«
has been associated in independent po
litical movements in this state, ana
his pronounced stand la behalf at Mr.
Sheatz has discouraged th* Democrat*
who had besn counting upon Inde
pendent support for their tloket
"1 am glad," says Mr. Smith, "tliat
the Republican party la now united in
Pennsylvania in support of an excep
tionally strong candidate for the office
of state treaeurer.
"The party is harmonious, and I am
askiijg all who have stood with me In
the past, for the principles which I
have championed, to give loyal and
earnest support to the Republlcaa
homlnee for state trasurer, Mr. John
O. Sheatz.
"Mr. Sheatz has a splendid record as
a member of the general assembly.
"in 1905 he alone of all the members
of the legislature from Philadelphia
had the courage and independence to
stand up and vote against the ripper
bill. He was chairman of the com
mittee of appropriations, and la all the
work of that Important committee,
around which th* cormorants of the
state flutter, there Is not a slagl* blot
or blemlah, and there has aot been m
| crltlolem of aay ef its actions."
Meaar*. Knox, Stuart and Smith all

UNDERTAKERS RAISt:
PRICE OF DYING
It costs live and die iu the
Beaver valley now than it did former
ly. Notice of an advance in the price
of foods and iu tiie price of burying
people have been given out by the
grocers and the undertaking people
Several day* ago the, gro era an
nounced a special raise iu the co«t of
bieakfast food* aud all cereals of I
and 2 cents a pound.
The Undertakers' association of
Reaver county informed the conuty
commissioners that it could not affoid
to bury the county dead for #lB, the
present rate, and demands*,s3o. The
prices of funerals and necessary acces
sories to all others have also been in
creased 10 per cent. There is a gener
al howl, but the people can take their
choice, is the only satisfaction.
No Round Trips on the Pennsv.
Noticeable changes took place on
Tuesday morning at the Pennsylvania
railroad station in South Danville
when the two cent fare law weut into
• fleet.
No round trip tickets are being sold
t) points within al
though they are'to points outside the
State. The single'fare ticket to Sun
bury now is 24 cents, which will
make a round trip rate of 48 cents.
The round trip ticket formerly cost
48 cents and the siugle fare 80 cents.
The fare to Wilbes-Barre is now §1.06
<iugle, and was formerly $2.07 round
trip and SI.BO single. The fare to
Philadelphia is now $;1.38, or
going aud returning. The old round
trip ticket was sold for s(>.3o. It
must be remembered, -however, that
these are competitive points than to
others, and that single trip tic kets to
any of the places cited formerly cost
more than they do now. In purchas
iug tickets to pointsjwhere there is no
competition such as Altoona and Pitts
burg, the local public will gain con-
I siderable, as will every person who
; wishes to stay any length of time
while on a trip. Mileage books will
also become so inconvenient that their
use will undoubtedly fall off to a
large extent.
All the railroads in Pennsylvania
are obeying the two cent rate law, al
though several of them are now ehgag
l ed in testing its constitutionality. It
will probably be some time before
I their suits are decided.
The Charm of Doing Good.
! Beneficence has this peculiarity—that
; the more we exercise It the more pleas
ure we find In Its exerdje. We attach
ourselves to the unfortunate object that
we relieve, and the assistance Ae give
him becomes a want to those by whom
it is administered. lie who has once
caused the tears of gratitude to flow
and who can afterward seek a pleasure
sweeter* thaa that is not worthy of
feeling ail the charm of doing good.—

IMPROVEMENTS AT
TRINITY M. E. CHURCH
Trinity M. K. church ii prospering
under the pastorate of the Rev. L.
Dow Ott. Its Allowing is in every way
creditable. Notwithstanding that the
church was seriou-l.v affected by the
industrial conditio is last year, w hen
the big mill was shut down for sever
al months, yet a large number of im
provements were made about the
church property,including the parson
age.
Iu point of improvements the church
this year will sustain past records.
The vestibule of the church has just
been renovated. The walls have been
frescoed in oil. the woodwork oiled
and new matting placed on the doors
aud stairways. The effect of the im
provement is quite marked,giving the
building a more cheerful and pleasing
appearance In addition new furnish
ings have been added to the parsonage.
tjuite a number of additions have
recently been made to the church
membership. Twelve have been ad

IRON FOR BRIDGE
IS ON THE WAY
William Buchanan,of the Buchanan
Bridge company, Chambersburg,spent
several hours iu this city yesterday on
business connected with the repairs of
the bridge at Exchange, the contract
for which was awarded to the above
company some weeks ago.
1 There has been some delay in the
■ beginning of repairs on the bridge at
Exchange, but Mr. Buchanan yester
day explained that the iron lor the
uew floor system has been shipped aud
lis now on the wav. It will be only
the matter of a day or so until all the
material is on the ground,after which
the work will be rapidly pushed to
completion.
Clever Swindler In Operation.
Now you see; now yon don't see.
This expression of illusionists and
magicians fits exactly with the meth
ods employed by a swindler who for
the past few weeks has been operating
iu the surrounding towns and who is
now said to he on bis way toward
Danville.
The swindler has been using a very
clever substitution game with a pair
of eye glasses. The man sells the eye
: glasses to the party, aud by the v. ay
the first pair are gold and fully worth
the price paid for them, but the
swindling part comes in a few days
later, when after making the sale he
; returns to the party aud asks to see
the glasses and while examining them
he cleverly substitutes a worthless
pair and leaves them with the victim.
At Shamokin several parties were
! victimized before the swindle was dis
| covered. The man was sought for by
| the police of that place but at the ho
tel where lie was stopping it was
found that lie had departed and it is
said ho was on his way to Danville.
The citizens of that town are highly
indignant and should the fellow be
| caught he will be given a cold dose of
j justice.
Lord Nelson's Hard Job.
A number of the English dukes have
little annual jobs to do to keep their
titles clear. The Liuke of Wellington
had to send miniature reproductions
of the English and French flags to the
( throne on each anniversary of Water
loo. The Duke of Marlborough has to
do the same orr the anniversary of the
battle of Blenheim, and the Duke of
Hamilton has to send a deer once a
i year to the king's guard of honor.

A Great Leveler.
Have you ever thought what a great
leveler the telephone Is? You would
never think of meeting some dignitary
of church or state or some great so
ciety lady on the street and address
i either with a familiar "Hello!" It would
be unpardonable rudeness, and yet that
Is what you do daily when you use the
telephone, and nothing Is thought of it.
The judge on the bench, the governor
in his office, the busy coupon clipper at
his desk, the overworked clerk, the
lady in her boudoir, the artisan at his
lathe, are all slaves to that democratic
'•Hello!" it matters not who may lie on
the other end of the wire.—Stanberry

taught to believe that antitoxine U

the physician atatcd, it is diphtheria
i.«»lf that affects the heart and not
the autitoxine. The natural tendency
of diphtheria is toward paralysis,
v hereas no symptoms whatever follow
intitoxine'no matter how large the
dose.
It might be interesting to know
that the 27,000 units of autitoxine
used in Harry Coleman's case repre
sented a cost of fortv-flve dollars.
